Working with 2 networks

If my brother has Network Magic Essentials 5.5 and I have Network Magic Essentials 5.5 can we go to each others house and log in to each others networks and share printers?
...Chris

Yes, unless you or your brother have a weird sense of humor and have tagged you (or him) as an Intruder there will be no issue. First, let's say, you are at his house, he uses the "add a device function " YOU WILL BE FINE.
Your PC will display a pop up that simply states the network has detected a printer that can be shared and ask if you want to use that [named} printer. Click on yes and the software loads the share software then requests to know if you want to print a test page.
This function works well whether it is a network printer, a printer slaved to another notebook/workstation or wireless printer ( distance limitation apply.)
Happy printing.

  • TM works with network drives?

    Just to be sure - TM works with directly attached drives. But does it also work with network drives? I hope it does at least with Apples newest update.
    Thanks
    Andreas

    There is plenty of documentation/discussion of a workaround that let's you make your computer recognize unsupported drives. Search for it using words like terminal network unsupported drive backup and you will find it. Some people say it works fine, and others caution against using it. I haven't seen a thorough discussion that really explains why Apple doesn't allow it, or why it's risky, or why it works, but that's typical of the boards that attract a techie crowd. Me? After spending $650 for a Terastation, I'm going to give it a try. Apple wants so badly for Windows users to switch to Mac, but they sometimes seem to make it very difficult and frustrating for us.

  • Adobe Bridge permission issues when working with network account

    We have some users using Adobe Bridge CS3, CS4 and CS5.
    They are using Bridge to browse arround the file server.
    I have ACL's so the users can have full access using the Finder, deleting, making folders etc.
    Users are logged in to their AD account with their home folder synced to a Mac OS X server 10.6.4.
    Unless they are Posix owner of a folder they can't make changes or nothing using Bridge.
    If they log in to a local account on a Mac and then manually connect to a share on the same server all is fine with Bridge. They can make folders, delete files etc etc.
    Any ideas?
    I know Adobe made it easy for themselfs years ago by simply stating it is not supported to work on a server using any Adobe app.

    As you said Adobe washed their hands of the matter and as any business customer is almost certainly going to use a server, and as Adobe products are so expensive pretty much only business customers can afford them, this is totally inexcusable.
    I had a similar network login related problem with Acrobat Pro in version 7.0 which after +two years+ (no exaggeration) was eventually fixed in Acrobat Pro 8.1. Unfortunately it was then broken again in Acrobat Pro 9.0. Based on my experiences with Acrobat Pro and due to a totally different reason (nothing to to do with using Adobe SW) I found that when I switched from using AFP for network home directories to instead using NFS, my problems with Adobe software and network login accounts went away.
    So, it might be worth your thinking about switching to using NFS for home directories as a workaround.
    Adobe have become even worse than Microsoft for their software. They use a variety of sucky installers instead of Apple's free Installer (Microsoft have switched to using Apple's Installer), they use product activation, they are even worse than MS Office at working with servers. The only redeeming fact Adobe has is that their Mac and Windows products are mostly equivalent unlike Microsoft who still cripple their Mac software.

  • Can't get Email client to work with Network Solutions Email server

    This is a new Email account started after I installed Snow Leopard. The Email server is Network Solutions. I have tried all afternoon and evening trying to set up just one account / mailbox on the Mac and I still haven't gotten it to work. I have been over the settings multiple times with Network Solutions and they tell me all the settings are correct, but still no joy. When I try to 'Get Mail' it simply spins its wheels for a minute or so then displays a (!); i.e. it times out and stops trying. I don't know if it is something about Network Solution's servers that is causing the problem or if it something wrong on my end (most likely). Any idea what I can try? Is there a log someplace that will tell me exactly what part of the process is failing?

    Problem solved. For some reason the POP client had 'SSL' turned on. Guess I set it by accident during one of my many tries. All is well now.

  • I need a keyring (that works with network-manager)

    Hi there,
    I'm new to Arch linux (coming from Ubuntu) and I'm wondering how to set up a keyring that works with that gnome-network-manager applet and ssh(fs). I previously used GNOME and the gnome keyring, and all out of the box.
    I couldn't find any manuals on how to set up the gnome-keyring in Arch linux, neither regarding ssh(fs) nor network-manager. I read people are complaining about network-manager asking for the keyring-unlocking-password, but this doesn't happen for me.
    How do I set up the gnome-keyring propertly?

  • LR5.2 Destroys raw-files if working with network drives

    I have a serious bug with LR5.2: It destroys my raw files CR2 (Canon ESO 60d) if I work with my local network drive. All my pictures are stored on this network drive. If I try to import from sd card or local drive new pictures and copy/move them via import or synchornize to my network drive the files are corrupted. I also can't open them with other sw-programms like DPP from Canon. The original files on the sd card are okay. Even if I copy the files via explorer to the network drive I can open them with for ex. DPP, but after I imported them into LR5.2 the files are corrupted and I can't open them with DPP again.

    LeeScoresby wrote:

    Lr doesn't write CR2 files, except if moving/copying, and then only via call to operating system. If your raw files are going bad, you probably have a system/hardware problem.

  • Working with network source code

    Hello all,
    [CVI 8.5]
    I've just noticed a problem with the CVI IDE while working with a project on
    a networked share. The network went down twice in 2 days and the windows of
    CVI stop responding, they become white and I can't even save my work to an
    alternate location...
    That sucks.
    Guillaume Dargaud
    http://www.gdargaud.net/

    Why not use CVS or SVN that will create a concurrent copy of the repository locally and allow controlled merges to the network source with the added benefits of revision control.
    I've been using CVI port on windows serverd on our local network for the past 10 years and not a single failure of corruption to date. If you need pointers let me know.

  • Does the Ipad 2 GSM version work with networks abroad, as in their microsim

    I realize that its a GSM model, and that, theoretically, it should work with GSM networks abroad. But remember the GSM Iphone 4? Even if you had chosen to purchase one without a contract, it will not work with GSM networks abroad. Apparently, it was locked to ATT, with or without a contract. I've tried this before. My Iphone 3Gs will not work with international sim cards. However, the iphone 4 I purchased from the UK, unlike the American iphone 4, works with any international micro-sim as long as the carrier was on a GSM network.
    So my question is, will the current American GSM Ipad 2 work abroad with international GSM micro-sims, or will it not work like the American iphone 4?

    As has been stated in approximately 47 other threads on this subject, the iPad, unlike the iPhone, is not locked to a carrier. Yes, you can use it in other countries with an appropriate microsim. The problem that you could run into is, if you need any kind of warranty service before the iPad is released in your country, you may find yourself in a bit of a bind.

  • Does fusion drive work with network accounts

    Hi,
    We are planning to buy new desktop systems.
    Since we work with big files, we love the idea about Fusion drive.
    Now my only question. Does this help when you use Network drives.
    Since the files are not stored on the system, but on the network, I think its better to have a server with fusion in it?
    An other solution might be using a mobile account on the desktop servers.
    Since (a copy of) all files is stored on the computer I think the speed will be approved if we use files wit fusion drive.
    Hope somebody can give his opinion with should be the best solution.
    Now working on the systems is very slow, and often a "turning ball" system is there, when we are accessing files.
    Regards,
    Flip

    Hi Uptime Jeff,
    I 100% agree with your comment.
    I would love to stop using network drives. It is slow, and I have often problems if the network is having issues.
    There is only 1 reason why we use network drives and that is because we work on iMacs in office, and use Macbooks abrought. Since we can use the same homedrive (especially the /library/ folder with settings, passwords etc) on iMac and Macbook we make use of network drives.
    Is there an other way to do this, then we can stop the full network drive.

  • Need to keep relaunching Mail to work with Network Solutions IMAP

    The problem: Mail on my MacBook Pro will successfully download e-mail from my Network Solutions IMAP account once, but then if I want to check for mail in that account again, I have to quit Mail and relaunch it. The problem is only with the Network Solutions account. I have three other e-mail accounts, and Mail has no problem getting messages from those other accounts, even while it's failing to get the Network Solutions messages.
    Background: I recently upgraded my Network Solutions account from POP to IMAP. That's when this problem started. I don't think I can blame it on Network Solutions, though, because the account works fine on my Mac mini, my iPhone, and my iPad.
    The MacBook Pro and the Mac mini are running the same OS (10.8.2) and the same version of Mail (6.2). The settings for the Network Solutions account are, as best as I can tell, exactly the same on both computers.
    Here's an example of what happens: I'll have Mail open on my MacBook Pro, and it will receive a new message. Then, I'll go to the Mac mini and open, read, and delete that new message. When I return to the MacBook Pro, that message is still in the in box and still marked as unread. I can leave it like that all day and that message will stay in the in box, unread, and Mail will not receive any more new messages from that Network Solutions account. Meanwhile, all of my other accounts work fine. (I can also open and read that message if I want. But it remains undeleted, even though I deleted it on the Mac mini.) If I quit Mail and relaunch it, that message will disappear, and Mail is again able to receive new messages from the Network Solutions account.
    Any ideas about what might be causing this? Thanks.

  • Actiontec GT784WNV won't work with network storage

    I had DSL connection problems which turned out to be outside the house and are now fixed. However in the process of fixing the line, Verizon sent me an Actiontec modem because they don't know how to deal with my Netgear DGND3300, which I have been using for a few years(!). I can not get the Actiontec to connect reliably with my network storage box (NAS), a Thecus n2100. The NAS appears in the list of lan devices but I can not get reliably to the files on it. Sometimes it works for a while then stops. Everything works fine with the Netgear and I configured the Actiontec the same (as much as possible, the Actiontec is a chintzy modem compared to the Netgear). BIG problem: there is NO user manual for the Actiontec that I could find!
    I would prefer to use my Netgear modem but if there is a problem, Verizon wont provide support. Is anyone else using network storage with the Actiontec?

    Check the Network menu on the front of the printer.  Does it indicate it is connected to your router with a proper IP address (not 0.0.0.0 nor 169.254.x.x)?  If not, in that same Network menu, Restore Network Defaults and check again.
    Next, go to Start > Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete all instances of the printer, then:
    1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing. Get its IP from a Network Test printed from the front panel of the printer.
    2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices & Printers.
    3. Click the Add a printer
    4. Select Local printer
    5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
    6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
    7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
    If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
    8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
    9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
    10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
    11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
    12. Click Finish.

  • Working with network drives

    I am having this trouble access files on a network drive. If I specify "G:\Folder\Filename" I get a file not found. If I specfy "\\server\Folder\Filename" it works fine. I'd prefer to use the first method as it would involve me not having to update all files to work this way, any suggestions?
    -Scott

    Yeah, I guess that would help. It's OAS 10gR1. This is a forms application. displaying images stored on a network drive.
    Running on Windows 2003. When I try to open an image on a shared drive, it gives me "cannot be found" works in client server version (we use both forms 5, and then forms 10g for web components). When we try to open with App server using UNC \\server\folder\image it works fine.
    Thanks for any help

  • Hello not working with network error - testing in Pacific Islands

    A few of us in the Pacific Islands Internet Society have been trying out Firefox Hello. The experience reported is that on a local network (ie same provider in same country) it works fine but several of us report errors when trying to use it internationally. Most countries here are still reliant on satellite links. We all tried with our AV, Windows and any other firewalls turned off but still the same error:
    "The stream was unable to connect due to a network error. Make sure your connection isn't blocked by a firewall"
    Could this be latency or low bandwidth, or an ISP QoS issue?
    For instance I am using only a 256/128 connection, in SOlomon Islands that is the most that is affordable (USD 450 per month). Is Hello only useable with high bandwidth? If so, it is not a Skype replacement.

    Hi leemingd,
    In order to further investigate the network error it may be necessary to gather logs:
    In order to investigate if something went wrong we will need to collect more information:
    #Open up about:webrtc in the url, start a conversation with a new link.
    # Click on "start debug mode" and "start AEC logging" try to connect in the url, wait for the error then click on connection log.
    #Use pastebin.mozilla.org to share the logs.

  • Does Time Machine work with Networked drives yet...?

    Yes, I did search, and nothing recent came up.
    I have a 500 GB lacie hard drive that is attached to my router, and it works great.
    Without using any of those hacks, should Time Machine work properly with a networked drive?

    No. At present on drives attached to a Time Capsule seem to work.
    My AEBS has a 500GB USB drive attached - and Time Machine won't use it.
    My Time Capsule has both the internal 1TB disk and a 1TB external Western Digital drive attached - and the Time Capsule drive and all of the partitions on the USB drive are available for use by Time Machine.
    Time Capsule comes with a new version of the Airport Utility (5.3) - I don't see that this is available as a separate download right now.
    Perhaps Airports will support Time Machine in the future - but that is by no means guaranteed. I don't think many people know what the hardware differences between an Airport Extreme and a Time Capsule really are.

  • IWork and iCloud don't work with network account

    I am trying to access files that I have saved on my icloud account but when I login with my network account, iWork apps just error when I choose iCloud and it shows me my document folder.  If I login to a local account it works correctly.  I go to open a document in an iWork document and choose iCloud it correctly shows the documents that I have in iCloud.  Is this a server issue or is there something that I am doing wrong.  I do have webdav running. could that be confusing it?

    HI,
    Try repairing disk permissions...
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Ref.: Setting up Macbook Pro to work with network printers.

    I am tired looking for an answer for my issue. I am 5 hours going in and out of blogs and foruns trying to set my printers on my recently bought Macbook Pro with Mac X (10.6.2).
    At home I have a home network with on Windows Vista PC and one Epson TX105 Series printer, and I have a Windows Network at work where I am trying to set a HP Laserjet 1505n.
    Both cases my notebook tries to reach the printer without success.
    I've added the printer all the ways possible and I couldn't get my Mac to print. I've tried every configuration possible.
    Anyone could give me a hand?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    You are very welcome. And on what's above, good, hope it works.
    3) On your network, what is the printer attached to?
    In my home network, the Epson TX105 is attached to a Windows Vista Home Premium PC ....
    I couldn't tell if the printer works when attached to the Mac at home. Yes? Are you able to share files at home with the Vista machine? Here are some Vista settings that are likely to work across the board for you.
    1. Select a folder (and your printer) to share, right click on the folder, choose sharing, and, using the remaining menus/options, share the folder with everyone allowing read and write (later, after getting things working, you can change who is allowed to share the folder).
    2. Go Control Panel > Network and, turn on file and printer sharing, Turn off public folder sharing, and Turn off password protected sharing (unless sharing won’t occur without turning it on). Turn on allow network access if there is a box to do so (can't remember).
    3. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
